Events and Leeuwarden go hand in hand. It is not for nothing that the Frisian capital was crowned European Capital of Culture in 2018 ! In Leeuwarden, we certainly love a party. From cultural events to one of the largest metal festivals in the Netherlands. From theatrical spectacles to film festivals. You will find events in Leeuwarden during every season and for every age. How about the Giants of Royal de Luxe stomping through the city for an entire weekend in August 2018? Or a *Shintterend Najaar* (Splendid Autumn), with the best winter festivals. The choice is vast; where will you start?
